Presentation made at City Council Meeting

City’s recycling program trashed

Thoroughbred Partners plans for old Senior Park

By Loretta Cozart During the February 25 city council meeting, it was decided to end the city’s recycling program at the end of March, at the recommendation of Rickey Putnam, Public Works Director. “With market changes, it is no longer feasible to recycle,” said Putnam. Kings Mountain is not alone in this action, as Shelby cancelled its recycling program on January 1. When China stopped accepting recycling last year, the cost for municipalities to recycle skyrocketed. Glass and plastics are no longer allowed, and the cost to recycle

domestically made the process more expensive. Add to that landfill tipping fees, i.e. the amount charged per ton for disposal at the landfill, and the burden on the city increased exponentially. Currently, Kings Mountain contracts with Republic Services and pays $9.50 per household to handle its recyclables, but households are only charged $2.75 per month by the city. According to Waste360, an information leader in the solid waste and recycling industry, “Republic Services Inc. reported $2.6 billion in revenues for the See RECYCLING, Page 7A

By Loretta Cozart Thoroughbred Partners presented their plans for the lot of the old Senior Park, located at 141 West Mountain Street during the City Council meeting on Feb. 25. City Council received an offer to purchase the property for $4,000 for. 04 acres, more or less, from Thoroughbred Partners, Ltd., a North Carolina Limited Partnership. In a presentation by John McGill, owner of 133 West, and Iris Hubbard, the lessor of the property, McGill shared that he and his partner, Tony Ruppe, had been working for over a year to improve the building at 133 W. Mountain Street. As part of that project, Thoroughbred Partners leased part of the adjacent lot at 141 W. Mountain Street for outdoor dining. In the process, the firm realized it made more sense to purchase the lot and make more substantial upgrades. In a rendering done by Garden design of Gastonia, the concept for their vision was shared. “We are doing the best with what we have,” McGill said. “We intend to leave a walkway through the space allowing pedestrians from Mountain Street to access the Chero-

Raised wood platforms adds dimension to the small space, making it more visually appealing. See more photos on page 4A. Photos by Loretta Cozart kee Street parking lot. We understand there is zero setback for adjoining buildings and existing easements for utilities like sewer, water, communication lines, electrical, and gas. We are willing to accommodate for those in the deed, even the fire suppression vault. It is our goal to tie-in this property with our overall plans for the building and to pro-

vide outdoor entertainment in that space.” Council voted to unanimously to accept Thoroughbred Partner’s, Ltd.’s offer. The period is now open for upset bids. Under NCGS § 45-21.27, Upset bids on real property; compliance bonds works like this: (a) An upset bid is an advanced, increased, or raised bid whereby any

person offers to purchase real property heretofore sold, for an amount exceeding the reported sale price or last upset bid by a minimum of five percent (5%) thereof, but in any event with a minimum increase of seven hundred fifty dollars ($750.00).” “Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) of See PARK, Page 4A

Crawford celebrates 91st birthday and 80 years of building leaders By Loretta Cozart & Lib Stewart Ninety-one years ago, William Donald “Don” Crawford was born to Thomas Harmon Crawford and Ethel Reynolds Crawford in Kings Mountain, North Carolina. During his lifetime, Crawford witnessed the growth of scouting in our region. Crawford’s 91st birthday was Feb. 26. At the age of 11, Crawford joined Troop 5 in 1940 as a Cub Scout and picked up rocks for 5 cents an hour to pay for his uniform. The rocks were used to build the Scout clubhouse at the southeast corner of Cansler and Walker Streets. The rock house is now a private residence. Crawford fell in love with scouting at a young age and his dedication to the program is well known. He rose to the rank of Eagle and the awards he has received over the years attest to his diligence and leadership locally, in the Piedmont Council, and in the state and nation. Manteo, NC and Kings Mountain Lions Club and as Lions District Governor 31C also attest to his strong leadership. He con-

DON CRAWFORD tinued to serve in the Kings Mountain Lions Club, the city’s oldest civic club. While District 31C Governor in 1997 – 1998, Crawford led 42 clubs in a high record of accomplishment by Lions. Crawford recorded the progress in a monthly newsletter, a big hit and drawing card for new members. The Friendship pin he distributed as a collectable was of a frontiersman and labeled, “A Mountain Top Experience.”

Lions International presented him the Governor’s Award of Excellence. Governor Mike Easley honored him with the prestigious Order of the Long Leaf Pine, the state’s highest award to a civilian, in 2006. He is also recipient of the Silver Beaver award, the Order of the Arrow, and Charles Bell award, among many others. He retired from the US Post Office at Kings Moun-

tain after 22 years after serving as a US Postal Inspector in 1964 and then working as a clerk. He was employed by the National Park Service eight years, including six years at Cape Hatteras National Seashore at Manteo and two years at Kings Mountain National Military Park. After retiring in 1980, he became active in the real estate and insurance business. His love for genealogy has led to a huge book of family histories which required time-consuming research. He is on the board of Kings Mountain Historical Museum and he uses his hobby of photography to snap pictures for the museum. He is a strong supporter of events at the museum. “Crawford has accompanied Scouts on 28-day trips to Philmont Ranch in New Mexico and as deputy camp chief for the USA visited Gilwell Park, the birthplace of scouting in England. He laughs and says, “This is where a Scout or scouter gets his ticket punched, it’s like a Christian visiting the Holy Land or an ARP (he is a long, active member of Boyce See CRAWFORD, Page 7A

A year ago, the Herald ran a story on Pete Lynn, a Kings Mountain native who died during WWII. Dale Caveny, also a Kings Mountain native, now lives in Alleghany County and writes BLOG posts for Absolutely Alleghany. Dale Caveny lives next door to the daughter of Pete and Ruth Lynn, Petie Bass. Frances Caveny shared that her son, Dale, had recently written the following BLOG post, continuing the story of Pete and Ruth Lynn and their daughter, Petie. Felmer (Pete) Lynn lived a life familiar to many in the textile community of Kings Mountain, North Carolina. The 34-year-old father of two worked at Park Yarn Mill and lived in the mill village with his family. His wife, Ruth, worked across the railroad tracks at the Margrace Mill.

Pete’s whistling always let Ruth know that he was heading home from work. Their life changed when Pete received a draft notice in March 1944 to report for military duty. After his training at Camp Fannin (Texas), he returned home on leave in July 1944 before being shipped to Europe. Alleghany County resident Petie Bass tells the story of her parents with a mixture of nostalgia and sadness. After landing in Normandy on June 6, 1944, Allied troops had streaked crossed France and were hoping to make a final push into Germany. From September 19 through December 16, 1944 120,000 Allied troops fought in the thick woods of the Hurtgen Forest. Historian Rick Atkinson refers to the Battle of Hurtgen Forest as “The Worst Place of Any.” In those three months, the

US forces suffered 33,000 casualties. Unknown to the family, Pete was engaged with the 28th Division in some of the fiercest combat of World War II. During the night of November 4, 1944, Ruth dreamed of hearing Pete’s whistling. Through she knew he was away in Europe, she rushed to the door to see if he was coming home. She viewed it as a premonition that something bad had happened to Pete. Days later the family received notice that their husband and father was reported missing in action on November 2. His body was recovered from a shallow grave in March 1945. Pete Lynn was buried in the Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery in Belgium before being returned to Kings Mountain on November 13, 1947. Ruth Lynn was pregnant when her husband was killed. When the baby, a daughter, was born, she named her after Pete. And sticking with his nickname, she called her daughter Petie. Ruth never remarried. She left the mill and took a job in the cafeteria at the local school. As her daughters progressed through school, Ruth insisted that they continue their education after high school graduation. All three attended college with assistance of their father’s GI benefits. Petie recalls her mother

Pete Lynn, a Kings Mountain native, died in Nov. 1945 .He was interred twice before being laid to rest in Mountain Rest Cemetery. Photo provided by Petie Bass taking her to Winston-Salem to meet with a GI benefits counselor. She said he read her high school transcript and noted her high grades in chemistry. He then took her hands and said, “I see the hands of a doctor.” Petie laughs that she didn’t share that exact vision, but she did go on to the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill to become a pharmacist. Petie worked as a phar-

macist at New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington, NC for 27 years where she specialized in oncology medications. She retired in May of 2000. The next day she and her husband, Norm, moved to Alleghany County. To read more of Dale Caveny’s BLOG posts, go to https://absolutelyalleghany.com/ and search by his name.

No Need to Fear W e live in t i m e s of great turmoil. So many things in our world Pastor tend to Jeff Longwell lead us Penley’s Chapel down a Church rocky p a t h toward anxious thoughts. One fear seems to ignite another as a worldwide health risk causes panic, triggering sudden downturns in the

stock market. A presidential election is looming on the horizon with uncertain consequences at best. Violent crime is increasing in many urban areas, oftentimes spilling over into what used to be considered safe neighborhoods. There seems to be no end to the ongoing opportunities for fear to creep into our lives. Thankfully, for those who trust in the Lord there is no need to fear. No matter what the circumstance or situation, we can trust that our God will take care of us. He is the source of our

strength and our anchor that holds us steady through the storms of life. The Psalmist David saw the Lord as a shepherd protecting His sheep. “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.” (Psalm 23:1-3) Notice how the personal pronouns will change as the writer goes into a difficult and fearful place. “Yea, though I

walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.” (vs. 4-5) When David is in green pastures and beside still waters, he is comfortable talking about the Lord in the second person: “He, His.” However, when he enters that valley where death’s cold, dark shadow threatens, David shifts to first person prayers to his Shepherd: “You, Your.”

It’s easy to speak in the hypothetical about how God will be with you and protect you, but when you actually go through fearful places, He becomes so real to you and you learn that you really can trust Him. Another comforting Psalm reminds us where to look for help: “ I will lift up my eyes to the hills--from whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber...nor sleep.” (Psalm 121:1-4) Be encouraged today! If we trust in the Lord, there is no need to fear!

Over 130 guests attend American Legion Auxiliary spaghetti dinner By Loretta Cozart American Legion Auxiliary Unit 155 held a Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser on Saturday, Feb. 29 and drew 130-plus guests from Kings Mountain and the surrounding area. Dinner included spaghetti with meat sauce, salad, garlic bread, and desserts of more than 15 varieties made by several members of the unit. Twelve tables were beautifully decorated with red-checked tablecloths and candles. Guests were greeted to dimmed lighting and Italian music. This fundraiser was the brainchild of Kim Sexton, a new member to ALA Unit 155. It was her vision to transform the banquet hall into an Italian restaurant and draw in guests with her now-famous grandma’s spaghetti sauce recipe. Her idea resulted in a very successful event for the American Legion Auxiliary and is one American Legion Post members will remem-

During his long tenure in scouting, he has served Kings Mountain District, Piedmont Council, Battleground District, and Tidewater Council as a Cubmaster, Scoutmaster, wood badge Scoutmaster, assistant district commissioner, assistant Council commissioner and member of the Piedmont Council executive board to name a few of the positions he has held. Crawford estimates he has trained over 50,000 Scouts. “I love Scouting and my Scouts keep in touch with me,’’ he said. He has attended 10 national Boy Scout Jamborees. In 1973 and 1977 the national jamborees were held at Morane State Park, PA. He attended as a representative of the National Park Service on the conservation trail and was the Mountain Man firing a flint lock rifle, telling the difference of life then and now. He helped develop a living history program on the site which is still used by the National Park Service at Boy Scout Jamborees. “My late wife, Joe Ann Blalock Crawford, always said Scouting was my first love and she was my second. Not so, we were

RECYCLING From Page 1A second quarter of 2019, a 3.5 percent increase from the year prior. This growth was mainly driven by strong pricing across the company’s collection, disposal and recycling processing businesses.” City of Kings Mountain will communicate their plan to end recycling during the month of March. The plan, as discussed at city council, is to collect the blue recycling receptacles during the first week of April. Of the $2.75 currently charged per household monthly for recycling, $2.50 will be diverted to pay for additional landfill tipping fees. In other business, City Council considered a rezoning request with Conditional Use Permit for property at 409 South Battleground Avenue from CU-CB to R6 by Sam Tsilimos during a Public Hearing. The Public Hearing for Case N. Z-112-19 was unanimously postponed by City Council until March 31.

medicines to children based on their weights and ages. Only use the dispensers packaged with children’s medications. • Avoid taking medicine or vitamins in front of kids. Medicine should not be referred to as “candy.” •If you suspect poisoning and a child is choking, collapses, can’t breathe or is having a seizure, call 911.

married over 50 years and our daughter, Donna, earned the curved bar in Girl Scouting. I guess you could say we are a Scouting family,’’ he said. Not only his family but leaders in the church supported his work as a Scouter. When he memorized the Scout oath, “On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country,’’ the Scout law and Bible verses and the catechism at church they became real to him. A life member of Boyce Memorial ARP Church, he previously taught Sabbath School, was Sunday School superintendent and a past chairman of the board of deacons. Crawford said Scouting continues to survive by keeping current with the needs of boys without sacrificing character building traits and helping boys develop into men of good, solid character. In April 2016, the Piedmont Boy Scout Council honored Crawford with the distinguished National Eagle Scout Association award at a banquet at Catawba Valley Community College in Hickory. On Feb. 29, Cub Scout Pack 93 celebrated its 25th birthday. Pack leader, Dave Evans said of Crawford, “Don Crawford and East School principal Jerry Hoyle saw the value Cub Scouts could add to the lives of the youth in the school community.“ The Pack was first sponsored

with a $250 donation by the PTO. Crawford received the Dr. Charles Bell Award at the third annual Friends of Scouting dinner on April 27, 2000 at First Baptist Church. East School was recognized for its contribution to Scouting through its successful Cub Scout program. That year, Pack 93 was honored as a “Quality Unit” for two straight years. Ninety-eight percent of all registered scouts advanced within the Pack, and over 80% regularly attended their Monday meetings at East School. Crawford has a legacy of leadership in Kings Mountain, from scouting, to his work, religious, and charitable life. His work with youth has impacted thousands who knew him personally, or through the funds his charitable work impacted. When Jack Hullender suggested Crawford collect rocks to raise money to buy his uniform and help build the Scout Clubhouse, in 1940, he had no idea how important lesson that was for this 11-year-old boy. On that day, Don Crawford’s life of service began and has grown into a legacy of building leaders in Kings Mountain and across the nation. And it all started with a single stone.

in 17 states. The bid form Kendig Keast is $50,000, matching the city’s budget, and the Planning staff would work closely with that company to develop the new Comprehensive Plan. This item will be voted on March 31. City Council received an Offer to Purchase property at 141 West Mountain Street for $4,000 from Thoroughbred Partners, Ltd. for property of .04 acres, more or less, and authorized advertisement for upset bid process, pursuant to N.C.G.S 160A-269. Council adopted a Resolution stating the intent of Council to consider a lease of the “Old US Post Office Building” located at 100 East Mountain Street to the Kings Mountain Historical Museum Foundation, Inc. and authorizing the terms of the proposed lease to be advertised, pursuant to NCGS 160A-272. Council discussed the city’s contract with Texla Energy Company, a wholesale natural gas provider, whose contract with the city ends on April 30. Nick Hendricks, Energy Services Director / Assistant City Manager recommended entering into a month-tomonth contract allowing the city time to do its due diligence. Hendricks said the city is otherwise pleased with their relationship with Texla but would like a little more time to make their final decision. Council unanimously approved Hendricks’ request.

The city approved the mayor to sign a contract between Cleveland County Board of Education and the City of Kings Mountain Police Department to supply School Resource Officers. Several budget amendments to increase the General Fund were approved: $4,000 for Senior Center donations received, $50,000 to repair and upgrade lighting the Christmas lighting display to LED; $75,000 for audio/visual upgrades to Council Chambers; $50,000 for maintenance and laser leveling of five baseball fields; $50,000 for pool repair at the YMCA. Mayor Neiser was also directed to execute a Lake Use Agreement with the 2020 Thursday Night Bass Tournament, a non-profit organization, allowing them to conduct Thursday Night Bass Tournaments from 6 – 9 pm on Moss Lake beginning March 12 through October 17, with a final Fish Off for one Saturday in October. Four Public Hearings were scheduled for Tuesday, March 31, for properties at 150 Rollingbrook Road, 923 Cleveland Avenue, 716 Canterbury Road, and Woodlake Parkway, also known as Parcel #154266 from L1 to H1.

Who is this? The twins pictured in last week’s Herald are Miles and Ernest Mauney, twin brothers who played piano duets to critical acclaim. In the book, Legends of Hilton Head, it was noted that “one reviewer wrote that they played with an ‘impressive blending of warmth and brightness of tone.’ They toured the country with their Steinway pianos in a van customized for their needs until the untimely death of Ernest in 1959.” The photo is credited to Phyllis Mauney, the daugh-

ter of Miles and Dorothy Mauney. Debbie Mauney, Sarah Mauney Rea, and Lynda Mauney Frye all shared information. Lynda Frye shared that after performing in Carnegie Hall in New York, Ernest was diagnosed with leukemia and died shortly afterwards at an early age. Miles continued performing with his wife, Dorothy, as the Mauney duo... she played the violin. Miles died recently and Dorothy lives in Hilton Head where she still teaches violin.

Do you recognize these two ladies? Both are seamstresses, perhaps altering garments at a local shop.

If you recognize either, email Loretta Cozart at lhcozart@cccom.com.

Stars come out at KM football banquet A packed house helped the Kings Mountain Mountaineers celebrate one of their best football seasons in history Thursday at First Baptist Church. All JV and varsity players were honored in one way or another, and members of the varsity came away with a big stash of trophies after smashing numerous school records during their 12-3 2019 season that brought them within seconds of playing for the state 3A championship. Kobe Paysour, an All-American junior wide receiver, took home the most valuable player award in what head coach Greg Lloyd said was a “tough call.” It was tough, he said, “because we had a lot of great season by a lot of great players.” Paysour’s team-leading receiving totals were remarkable, Lloyd said, because he was double-teamed in every game. Paysour caught 60 passes for 1,138 yards and 19 touchdowns. He added three more rushing TDs and even threw a touchdown pass. “Everybody had to worry about him,” Coach Lloyd noted. “He was double covered 90 percent of the time and that didn’t affect him.” Lloyd said Paysour is “team player” and is always the first one to congratulate a teammate that makes a good play. “He is all about winning,” Lloyd said. Other awards presented included: Defensive back award – James Ussery. “He loves to compete,” noted defensive coordinator Darrel Wilson. “I love his competitive nature. He plays and practices 100 percent. He plays hard all the way.” Ussery will continue his football career at Lenoir-Rhyne. Defensive line awards – Javari Rice and Zach Crawford. Wilson called Crawford a senior leader. “He plays with a high level of emotion,” he said. Rice, a junior, was voted the Big South Conference Defensive Lineman of the Year. “He is fun to watch,” Coach Wilson said. “He’s high energy. Sometimes you have to slow him down.” Jeff Putnam linebacker award – Chance Cannon. Coach Tom Lease referred to Cannon as an impact player. “He made a lot of important plays. When you needed a stop, he stepped

up,” Lease noted. “He did not miss tackles. He watches video constantly. He makes smart plays. He’s our quarterback on defense.” Defensive coaches award – Belton Pressley. Coach Wilson called him a “great guy. He’s a great tackler with great skills. He’s good enough to play at the next level.” Defensive MVP – DayDay Wilson. “I’ve coached him since he was a freshman,” noted Coach Wilson. “I’ve seen him grow into a very good player. He leads by example but we’re going to try to get him more vocal.” Wilson has led the team in tackles the last two years, and along with Kobe Paysour is being recruited by some of the top major colleges in the nation. Fred Plonk Blocking Trophy – DJ Bagwell. Bagwell, who is now at UNC Charlotte competing for a starting line position with the 49ers, was the Big South Lineman of the Year. He was one of many offensive linemen that paved the way for the Mountaineers to break just about all offensive school records. Coach Kevin Cruise pointed out that the offense had 5,830 yards which were about equally shared by running and passing. “We were as balanced as you can get,” he said. “DJ had a strong work ethic and was a super teammate. He always stayed on his block until the play was over.” Offensive back award – Rashaard Brooks. A sophomore, Brooks shared time between JV and varsity the first two weeks of the season. But, in the third game he had an amazing night in a 35-20 comeback victory in Monroe and was solely varsity the rest of the year. He led the team in rushing with 1,400 yards and 12 TDs and also caught 13 passes for 162 yards and six TDs. Wide receiver award – Quintin Davidson. Davidson was a good pass receiver all four years of his high school career, but he was an exceptional one his senior year. He had 924 yards receiving and he and Kobe Paysour together had over 2,000. Davidson’s spectacular one-hand catch at the back of the end zone at Charlotte Catholic was one of the greatest catches in the 97 years of KMHS football. “I was super proud to be able to coach the fine receivers we had like Quintin,” noted Coach Diron Bell. “They set a standard

Belton Pressley, left, and Kobe Paysour show off their hardware at last week’s football banquet. Paysour, an All-American receiver, received the team’s most valuable player award. Photos by Gary Smart that we’re going to look for every year.” Coaches Award – Bryce Fisher. Coach Cruise said Fisher was not just a good receiver, but a dominating blocker who crushed a lot of linebackers. “He played banged up almost all season,” Cruise noted. “But, still, one of his best touchdowns was when we faced first and 20 in the second overtime at Charlotte Catholic and he caught a pass and ran over a guy as he was going into the end zone.” Offensive MVP – Ethan Reid. A junior who moved to Kings Mountain during the Christmas break, Reid was new to the system but had one of the best seasons of any QB in school history. He passed for over 3,000 yards and was part of 54 touchdowns and was the Big South’s offensive player of the year. “He’s just grazed the surface of our offense,” Coach Cruise noted. “I can’t wait to see what he’s going to accomplish next season.” Special teams players of the year – James Ussery and Austin Browning. Ussery was one of – if not the best – kickoff and punt returners in the Big South. He was also a terror on defense with five blocked punts and nine tackles for loss. Browning set a new school record for most kicking points with 89 and was also honored along with snapper Jamie Wilson and holder Triston Hannon as the “Legal Team” for See BANQUET, Page 2B

their dedication to practicing together and working together on the playing field to have some of the best kicking team results in school history. Browning was able to break the record, Harris noted, because of good snaps by Wilson, good holds by Hannon and good kicks by Browning in many high pressure situations such as the Charlotte Catholic game that went seven overtimes, and the third round win over AC Reynolds when Hannon got off a long punt that ran the clock out as Reynolds was trying to get a late block to stay in the game. Most improved player – Luke Bishop. Bishop was unable to attend because of illness, but the senior who started the season in the defensive backfield was moved to a slot receiver position and was a key contributor to the Mountaineers’ offensive success. Donnie Mace Tough Man of the Year Award – Robert Lipscomb. The award will be an annual award to remember the 30-plus years of voluntary contributions that Mace gave to KM football program. “There’s only one Donnie,” noted Coach Greg Lloyd. “He made coaches jobs so much easier. He had a love for the school and all of the players. He will be sorely missed.” Mace’s daughter, Angela Brittain, presented the award to Lipscomb. Career achievement award – Ricaylen Mack. Mack played four years on varsity but fought injuries his last two seasons. Coach Lloyd recalled Mack’s outstanding running as a freshman starter in 2016 that was the key to KM breaking an 18-year losing streak to Crest. As a sophomore he was the Big South Player of the Year and he was on track to becoming the school’s alltime leading rusher. But injuries the past two seasons caused him to miss time that equaled an entire season. Still, he finished his career with 4,491 yards and 58 touchdowns. Turnover Award – Chance Cannon. Weightlifter of the Year – Xavier Brown. Optimist Club Awards – Given to Luke Bishop, Zach Crawford, Dereon Dean, Bryce Fisher, Triston Hannon and Belton Pressley, who started playing football with the Kings Mountain Optimist and continued playing throughout their high school careers.

Senior Quintin Davidson receives the outstanding wide receiver award from coaches Diron Bell, left, and Kevin Cruise. Davidson, along with receiver Kobe Paysour and quarterback Ethan Reid, piled up the most passing and receiving yards in the Big South.

Beware of Potential 2020 Census Scams Dear Savvy Senior, Can you offer some tips to help seniors guard against census scams? With the 2020 census gearing up, I’ve read that there are a lot of potential scammers out there looking to take advantage of older people and I want to protect myself. Cautious Judy Dear Judy, Unfortunately, scams have become a persistent problem when the U.S. Census Bureau does its once-a-decade count of the U.S. population. Here’s what you can expect from the 2020 Census in the coming weeks, and how you can protect yourself from potential scams. What to Expect In mid-March, you and nearly every other U.S. household will receive an invitation in the mail to respond to the 2020 Census. This year, you will have the option of completing the 2020 census questionnaire either online, by mail, or by phone. The invitation will include detailed instructions of what you need to do.

If you don’t respond to this invitation letter, you will receive several follow-up postcard reminders from the Census Bureau by mail. If you still don’t respond by late April, a census worker will come to your door to collect your response in person. It only takes a few minutes to complete the census questionnaire. While census participation is very important and required by law, you also need to be vigilant of census-linked scams. This is especially important for seniors who tend to be prime targets. The Census Bureau warns against phishing email scams as well as con artist masquerading as census workers who will try to solicit your personal ﬁnancial information. Here are some tips that can help you protect yourself. Guard Your Information Don’t give out your personal or ﬁnancial information. The Census Bureau or a legitimate census worker will never ask for your Social Security number, bank account number, credit card number, money or donations. And they

will never contact you on behalf of a political party. If you’re asked for any of these, whether it be via phone, mail, email or in person, it’s a scam and should be reported to rumors@census. gov. Avoid Online Scams The Census Bureau will not send you an unsolicited email to request your participation in the 2020 Census. So, ignore any emails you get that may direct you to a census website that looks real but is fake – and may be infected with malware. Also, don’t reply to the email or open any attachment because they could contain viruses that could infect your computer. Forward the email or website address to the Census Bureau at rumors@census.gov. Then delete the message. Be Safe at Home If someone visits your home to collect a response for the 2020 Census, make sure you verify their identity. A legitimate census taker must present a ﬁeld badge that includes a photograph of themselves, a Department of Commerce watermark and an expiration date. Census workers will also be car-

rying a Census Bureau laptop or cellphone, as well as a bag with a Census Bureau logo. Also, remember that a census worker will only ask you the questions that appear on the questionnaire – your name, gender, age, race, ethnicity, phone number, type of residence and number of people living with you. They will not ask for sensitive personal information, such as your Social Security or credit card number. If you have questions about their identity, you can call 800-923-8282 to speak with a local Census Bureau representative. If it is determined that the visitor who came to your door does not work for the Census Bureau, contact your local police department. For more information on the 2020 Census, visit 2020census.gov. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

the finals by edging Crest 51-47 two days earlier. KM got off to a slow start, falling behind 6-0, but Simpson’s put back got the Patriots on the board. Cole’s assist to Smith and Ward’s steal, followed by a Brown put back cut the Dragons’ lead to 10-6. Sanders laid one in to slash the difference to 14-10 after one quarter. Bradley Floyd’s free throw to start the second quarter cut the lead to three before Crest went on a 12-4 run to lead 26-15.

three assists helped erase the Crest lead. Cole’s two free throws gave KM its largest lead of 15 before Crest made a comeback to cut the KM lead to two points with 40 seconds left.

players gives general manager Stuart Wallace confidence that the team will be back at the top this season. Saturday’s game is the first of four regular season home games. The Force will host the BC Alliance on April 4, the SC Kings on April 25 and the SC Spartans on May 2. The Spartans’ field general is KM’s own Michael Roberts, who was the MVP in the national championship game two seasons ago. Several other former Mountaineers are key

players, including running back Darrick Marable and defensive standout Chance Frederick. Wallace said numerous other players from the area have helped build the solid program. Wallace no longer coaches the team. Woody Erickson, a former Forestview standout, serves as the head coach. Assistants are Daniel Trimall and former KMHS player Josh Stacey. Jorge Caramo is the defensive coordinator. The Force runs a multi-

ple offense, using the shotgun, pistol and I formation. “We usually have four wide and mix it up,” noted Wallace. “We have a lot of guys that we get the ball to and let them go with it.” Fans won’t just enjoy a good brand of football, but a halftime show that features live DJs and singers. Members of the Kings Mountain Optimist Club run the concession stand to raise money for their youth football program.

Census 2020 Cleveland County matters You will receive a US Census mailing in March to complete and return. If you don't respond after a couple of weeks, you will get a reminder mailing. Then, a couple of weeks later, if you haven't returned your Census form, you will get another reminder via post card. If you still haven't returned your Census form, you will then get a personal visit by a

US Census employee knocking on your door. The easiest thing to do to avoid extra mail and a door-to-door Census visit is to fill out the form and return it as soon as you get it. Replying actually helps Kings Mountain and Cleveland County. Responding to the census is not only your civic duty; it also affects the amount of funding your community receives, how your community plans for the

future, and your representation in government. • Data from the Census provides the basis for the allocation of $675 billion in federal funding to programs and services to communities across the country. When the population increases, communities are eligible to receive increased funding for roads, jobs, libraries, housing, schools, healthcare and public policy. • Census data is also used to redraw the boundaries of congressional and state legislative districts and accurately determine the number of congressional seats each state has in the US House of Representatives.

• Census data helps in the planning of new homes and businesses and improvements for neighborhoods. There are multiple ways that you can respond to insure you are counted. The Census questionnaire will be mailed to every household in the US beginning in March and for the first time in Census history, you can respond online. You may also provide your Census information by telephone. If you have not returned your Census form and or can’t be reached by telephone, you will receive a personal visit from a Census representative. Since the US Census is only taken once every ten-years, you may be concerned about what will happen to your personal information. Your data is kept safe and confidential. Strict federal law protects your Census information. Your personal information will not be sold to marketing firms and you will not be bombarded with sales calls. You also will not be asked for your social security number, your bank account number, our credit card number or money. Data collected can only be used for statistical purposes that provide information for important decisions, including how much funding your community receives. The Census Bureau has a robust cyber security program that incorporates industry best practices and federal security standards for encrypting data. To make sure you give accurate counts, don't forget to include your children and any other family members who are living with you on the Census form. However, don't include your college kids who live on-campus - they will be counted by their school. Tell your friends, family, church members, neighbors, co-workers and social media followers about the Census and encourage them to fill out their form and return it.

On February 14th West Elementary second grade students celebrated Valentines Day with an "I Love Math" event. Parents and families were invited in to see how students learn mathematics in second grade. Students performed a poem about three-digit subtraction and then played some games with their families to practice their skills. Parents and families were given a game to utilize at home with their student and all received a sweet treat for attending the event. Pictured is Miss Washburn working with students and parents.

Cub Scout Pack 93 celebrates silver anniversary annual banquet and Pack meeting By Loretta Cozart On Feb. 29, Cub Scout Pack 93 celebrated its 25th birthday. Instead of the normal blue and gold Scout birthday celebration, it was altered to a blue and silver anniversary celebration in honor of their 25th anniversary for Pack 93. Each grade level has a den, kindergarten is Lions, 1st grade is Tigers, 2nd grade is wolf,3rd grade is Bear, 4th grade is Webelos, and 5th grade is Arrow of Light. All dens combine under the Pack designation. Webelos den leader, Dave Evans, spoke of the formation of the Cub Scout Pack in 1995, “Don Crawford and East School principal Jerry Hoyle saw the value Cub Scouts could add to the lives of the youth in the school community. Twenty-five years later, Pack 93 is still making a difference in the community for boys and now include girls in the fun.” The Pack served barbecue and pizzas and the meal and entertainment were free. The Scouts and their adult partner, or Akela, baked cakes that were auctioned to offset costs. Anyone who is older than the Cub Scout can be Akela, including the

Noel Oakley, Lion Den member received her door prize from Kelly Hendricks. den leader, the assistant den leader, the adult partner, a parent or a guardian. In 1914, Scouting founder Robert Baden-Powell started a Scouting program based on Kipling’s short stories targeted at younger boys in Britain. Sixteen years later, the BSA launched its version of Baden-Powell’s new program. Even though

American Cub Scouting has evolved since its 1930 inception, today’s boys still use terms like Akela, pack and den that can be traced to The Jungle Book. This was also the normal Pack meeting for the month, so the Scouts also received awards they have earned and other special presentations.
